Ron,<div>If you send me the load profile, insolation (or location), fuel price, generator and PV equipment specifications, I will send you back an analysis of the design options which will show the savings very clearly. It will also tell you the duty cycle for the generator and the levelized cost of energy for each scenario. This should help you to identify the right combination of equipment and help close the deal.<br>

Hi Wrenches,<br>
I'm putting together a proposal for a national company that has a few remote installations. They are looking for options for saving generator run-time using an inverter-charger/battery combo with the existing gensets. Does anyone have any real world examples of realized fuel savings in this type of scenario? They run generators 24/7 and a lot of the dusk to dawn energy requirement is well below the daytime needs. Appreciate any ideas or examples.<br>
